More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
the worst part about being lied to is knowing you werent worth the truth
Jean-Paul Sartre
As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
God is absence. God is the solitude of man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I receive letters from workers, from secretaries. . . . They are the most interesting ones.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I must be without remorse or regrets as I am without excuse for from the instant of my upsurge into being, I carry the weight of the world by myself alone without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Freedom is existence, and in it existence precedes essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Is there really nothing, nothing left of me?
Jean-Paul Sartre
The consciousness that says 'I am' is not the consciousness that thinks.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Imagination is not an empirical or superadded power of consciousness, it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes its freedom.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Why do you keep maintaining your ideas are right if you can't prove them?
Jean-Paul Sartre
I’ve dropped out of their hearts like a little sparrow fallen from its nest. So gather me up, dear, fold me to your heart – and you’ll see how nice I can be.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is meaningless that we are born, it is meaningless that we die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Men equally honest, equally devoted to their fatherland, are momentarily separated by different conceptions of their duty.
Jean-Paul Sartre
[Contemporary writer] could be a kind of [Samuel] Beckett who would not be felt to be totally committed to despair.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Therefore, in the nature of this will for freedom, which freedom itself implies, I may pass judgement on those who seek to hide from themselves the complete arbitrariness and the complete freedom of their existence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
When the rich [and politically powerful] make war, it's the poor [and politically weak] who die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A good hanging now and then -- that entertains folk in the provinces and robs death of its glamour.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
